Goal 4 - Promote and model digital citizenship and Christian discipleship within the context of the digital age
Example 1: This artifact is a Google Doc that was created to collaborate about a reflective essay assignment on the topic of values and 21st century skills. In this essay, I discussed my top values and how they influence my technology use, as well as my school’s top values and how those values are reflected by my school’s policies and procedures. Lastly, I gave recommendations for how my school could look differently if their technology integration choices matched their values. This paper meets Goal 4 because I shows that I understand the importance of my values being reflected by my actions, especially in regards to the use of digital tools and within the context of the digital age.

Example 2: This artifact is a 21st century skills and standards list that I developed collaboratively with one of my classmates. In this list, we identified essential, important, and merely present 21st century skills. Within each skill area, we gave examples of specific ways that the skill would be used, specifically in the classroom. Finally, I applied those ideas on the list by investigating practices within my own school, identifying the extent to which those literacies are part of the curriculum that I teach, and making suggestions for improvement. This artifact meets Goal 4 because it demonstrates that I understand the skills necessary for digital citizenship in the 21st century. EDT908 21st Century Skills and Standards
Example 3: This artifact is a paper that details my personal exploration and journey into teenage digital culture. For this assignment, I recruited one of my 8th grade students to take me on a tour of the top five most mentioned teen websites from a poll that I conducted. Through this experience, I gained great insight about online teen culture. I was able to witness the ways that they use the Net for connecting with others, finding information on what they are curious about, and entertainment. It also proved how vital it is for parents and educators to work as a team to teach teens safe Internet behaviors, and make them critically aware of their actions online. This artifact meets Goal 4 because it demonstrates my ability to gather information about teenage digital culture, and make recommendations for how to promote digital citizenship to young adults.
